Question

Which is the World's tallest statue?

• A. Spring Temple Buddha in China
• B. Laykyun Sekkya in Myanmar
• C. Statue of Unity in India
• D. Vishwas Swaroopam in India

Hint:

Remember the top two tallest statues: 1. Statue of Unity (India) and 2. Spring Temple Buddha (China). Knowing the personality depicted (Sardar Patel) and the location (Gujarat) for the Statue of Unity is also important.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This is a world records general knowledge question. Step 1: Identify the current record holder. As of its inauguration in 2018, the Statue of Unity located in the state of Gujarat, India, is the world's tallest statue.

Step 2: Know the details of the statue.
Height: It stands at an impressive 182 meters (597 feet).
Subject: It depicts Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement and the first Deputy Prime Minister of India.
Location: It is situated on a river island facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada river.

Step 3: Compare with other options. The other options are also very tall statues, but they are not the tallest.
The Spring Temple Buddha in China was the previous record holder, standing at 128 meters (not including its pedestal).
The Laykyun Sekkya in Myanmar is also among the tallest.
The Vishwas Swaroopam (Statue of Belief) in Rajasthan, India, is the world's tallest statue of the Hindu deity Shiva, but it is shorter than the Statue of Unity. Therefore, the Statue of Unity is the correct answer.
